5 Ways To Make Summer Time Cool

Summertime is around the corner, the birds are chirping and the flowers are blooming, you know what that means right? Summer vacation is about to start, the temperatures will be heating up and so will the kid’s energy. As a mom of four children, I find that keeping the kids entertained yet cool can become a task in its self. Read about my 5 Ways To Make Summer Time Cool this year.

Try New Recipes. Try something new this summer and stick to foods that don’t require an oven. Using an oven can heat up the whole home, so find recipes you can make and pop into the refrigerator. I like to make cold pasta salads for lunch and cook things in my slow cooker during the day for dinner. Using the slow cooker helps reduce the heat omitted in the home and also provides an effortless way to make some delicious meals.

Recipe Idea: Grab one of the new Häagen-Dazs® Trio ice creams, pound cake, and a loaf pan and make yourself an ice cream cake. Simply cut slices of the pound cake and layer the poundcake and Häagen-Dazs® Trio ice cream until you reach the top. Pop it back in the freezer for a few hours, take it out and cut a slice and enjoy!

Find Free Things To Do. Having fun doesn’t always mean you have to pay to have it, you can find many local things to do in your home by searching the web. I like to search the web and find things for my family to do during the weekend. It’s a great way to get out and have some fun but still, stick to your normal budget. Also, don’t forget! Free Cone Day At Häagen-Dazs® Shops is May 9th, 2017! Head over here for more details.

Plan A Staycation. If you aren’t planning on leaving too far from home this summer plan on having a staycation instead. Vacations aren’t just for those who travel, they are for families who stay home too. Like above you can find free things to do in your town, or you can find a local event and attend with the whole family. I like to take advantage of family-friendly events in local museums, restaurants, and local fairs. Stay cool and join a local YMCA or gym and cool off in a huge pool with the family or grab a quick workout and do some laps.

Get Out and Play 1 Hour a Day. The heat can get brutal during the summer but don’t let that slow you down from going outside at least 1 hour a day. It’s great for the kids to burn off their energy and good to get some fresh air, enhance the fun and whip out those water balloons and have a family friendly game of war. Afterward, have them cool off with a Häagen-Dazs® Ice Cream Bar when they come inside and then have some fun family movie time.

Stay Cool with Häagen-Dazs® Ice Cream Bar’s. Kick back and enjoy a Häagen-Dazs® Ice Cream Bar with your family and friends. Enjoy it poolside or inside your home for a tasty treat that will leave you super cool. My kids love to enjoy their ice cream after a long game of soccer in our backyard, as well as after dinner for a yummy snack.

Häagen-Dazs® has many different flavors of their ice cream bars, there are so many it’s hard to choose which one is my favorite.

Oh those ice cream bars look so delicious! That would be the perfect thing to have on a hot day! I have to stock up on these Haagen-Dazs bars. Oh, and I will mark my calendar so I can also get a free ice cream cone on May 9th! 🙂

Soon it will be time to start making our own ice pops and homemade ice cream with all kinds of fresh berries we picked as a family. Doesn’t seem like summer this week but I know it is just around the corner.

I haven’t had Haagen-Dazs ice cream in ages, and these look soooo good! I like to stock up on cold treats in the summertime so that we can save when the ice cream truck comes around. Plus mommy likes some cold treats too!

These are all great ideas for staying cool during the summer months. I love the idea of make the ice cream pound cake which I will have to do. The Hazagen-Dazs ice cream bars are something I will have to pick up. I can’t wait to try the Pomegranate Dark Chocolate bar. Thanks for sharing these awesome ideas.

We love this brand of ice-cream! I wish I could eat it, unfortunately I am lactose intolerant, but my kids love it so much! This is always a treat for them to taste this, and we do buy it a lot in stores as the kids love the flavors!
